I find this game to be completely overrated. I really don't understand what everyone loves about it. I played it for hours and hours thinking at any moment it was going to get better and then realising that it just wasn't.

I don't care about dying over and over, because as your skill increases you can defeat the enemies. It's simply that the game is soul crushingly boring.

But thats highly subjective, Thraxas, I personally love the whole atmosphere of the game and the difficulty is definitly welcomed.

I love the creature design and all that too.


The result of origin.. Oh and ponies

Haven't played Dark Souls but I'm slowly working through Demon's Souls and it's alright. The atmosphere, cinematics, and gameplay is great. It is a very difficult game which is fun to begin with but I got very annoyed about it eventually. It gets extremely frustrating and, as Thraxas said, boring when you have to repeat the same thing over and over again just to proceed a few meters in the game. However, after I talked to a friend about it he suggested using different types of weapons for different enemies like spears for the Mind Flayers. While it does make sense it was just something I skipped over, since I'm so used to just hacking and slashing my way through enemies in games like Skyrim and Diablo. So I will go back soon to hopefully succeed where I previously failed.

Anyway, I'll probably just get Dark Soul's for the PS3 instead of PC. I have a feeling that something in my PC is going to die soon...

Yes. It's definitely not for me. The difficulty is not that bad. Certainly not as bad as people made out. As your skill at the game increases you are able to beat those 'unbeatable' enemies. I also never felt that my loses were cheap: I either didn't know how to approach the situation or I made a silly mistake.

*I* find it boring, and don't understand how it's making it into so many Game of the Year lists. It's just not that good (in my opinion).

Isnt that the point though? You get the satisfactory feeling from that

I dont feel them to be cheap, as you at times have gathered a lot of souls (xp) and dying then just feels like a slap in the chin, especially when an "really tohugh enemy is guarding it" making it quite inaccessable at the time...

And I do respect your opinion ^^
